- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Brisk and involving with a streamlined forward propulsion, it's the kind of superhero movie we want if we have to have superhero movies at all."
-
"This movie lets the characters and tropes borrowed from the original Stan Lee comic live and breathe."
-
"As in the first movie, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart are trotted out periodically to add a little gravitas."
-
"There are simply too many characters to get a handle on, and the sheer proliferation of special effects offers Singer a license so unfettered that most of the mutants act not according to their natures"
-
"A sleek, rousing contraption, a comic-book movie with a sense of playfulness, a welcome streak of humor and just the right touch of gravity."
-
"Funny, reasonably crazy, and unpretentiously faithful to its source."
-
"An altogether more viscerally engaging film, from its relentless pacing and slam-bang effects work to the fine, appropriately heroic score by John Ottman"
